Leading into the midterm elections in 2022, it's increasingly looking like the prices you see on grocery store shelves will play an outsized role in voter sentiment.

And in what's perhaps the strongest indication that this isn't a blip or a minor issue, the FTC in recent days announced that it's opened an investigation into some of these issues.
What's going on here is related, in part, to some much bigger forces at work -- including supply chain disruptions, as well as record-high inflation.
